We design and build custom, high-performance websites on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and modern frameworks. Every site is responsive, technically optimized for SEO, and engineered for conversion — fast load times, clear user journeys, and clean structured data so search engines and AI tools can read your content.
Our process starts before a wireframe is drawn. We run a structured discovery phase: auditing your current site's Core Web Vitals and crawl health, mapping your competitive landscape, and defining conversion goals. That research drives every design decision — from information architecture to which CTA placement generates the most bookings from Montreal-area traffic.
Performance is engineered into every build, not added afterward. We target Core Web Vitals green scores across mobile and desktop: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) under 2.5 seconds, First Input Delay (FID) under 100ms, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) below 0.1. We hit those benchmarks through WebP image compression with lazy loading, eliminating render-blocking scripts, server-side caching, and minimal DOM weight. Speed matters commercially: a one-second delay in load time reduces average conversion rates by 7%. For a site generating 50 leads per month, that is 3–4 leads lost to a slow page.
We do not build digital brochures. Every site we deliver is a measurable growth asset: analytics configured from day one, Search Console verified, and a 30-day post-launch monitoring period so you see exactly how the site performs and what to optimize next.

Who it is for: Local businesses and growing service providers needing a professional, high-converting online HQ.
A professional custom website for a service business typically starts around $3,000–$6,000 CAD for a 5–10 page site. E-commerce and bilingual builds start higher — typically $6,000–$12,000 — because of the additional development and content work involved. Factors that move the price include page count, custom functionality (booking systems, member portals, product catalogs), and design complexity. We provide a detailed scope and fixed-price quote after a discovery call, with no change orders after signing unless you add scope.
We build on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or modern frameworks (React, Next.js) depending on your needs, your team's comfort level, and your growth plans. WordPress is our most common choice for service businesses and content-heavy sites — it gives the best balance of flexibility, plugin ecosystem, and client manageability. Shopify is the clear choice for e-commerce. Webflow works well for visually complex marketing sites that need fast iteration without code. We recommend the platform that fits your business, not the one that is fastest for us to build on.
A standard custom website runs 4–8 weeks from signed agreement to launch. The two main variables are content readiness — how quickly you provide copy, images, and brand assets — and the number of revision cycles. Clients who come with content ready and give consolidated feedback in each round typically launch in 4–5 weeks. We share a milestone timeline with exact dates at project kickoff, and flag any risk to the schedule early so there are no surprises at the end.
Our process runs five phases. (1) Discovery: we audit your current site's performance and crawl health, map competitors, and document your conversion goals and audience. (2) Architecture and wireframing: we define the page hierarchy and user journeys before any visual design is applied — structure first, aesthetics second. (3) Visual design: we develop mockups aligned to your brand, then iterate on your feedback until the design is approved. (4) Development and QA: we build on your chosen CMS, run Core Web Vitals audits on mobile and desktop, and test across browsers and real devices before handoff. (5) Launch and post-launch: we manage the go-live, monitor error logs and uptime for 72 hours, and spend the next 30 days on Analytics verification, Search Console setup, and performance tracking.
Yes — bilingual web design is a core part of our Montreal practice. We architect bilingual sites with clean URL structures (/fr/ subdirectory), implement hreflang tags correctly so Google serves each audience the right language version, and configure canonical tags to prevent duplicate content penalties. French pages are written in native Quebec French — we do not run machine translation. Each language version is independently optimized for search with separate keyword targets, meta tags, and structured data for French and English queries.
